Thank you for taking the time to look at our website. I hope that it will give you some idea of what life is like at Wincheap Foundation Primary School and the fantastic opportunities that we offer our children.
Our mission statement, Celebrating individuality, enabling every child to flourish and reach their full potential, reflects our aims of nurturing each child's talents and abilities, giving them opportunities to be happy, resilient and enthusiastic learners and enabling them to make good or better progress across all areas of the curriculum.
At Wincheap, we strive to provide all our children with a rich, varied and exciting curriculum with a broad range of stimulating learning experiences. We particularly value the arts and are proud to have held Artsmark for many years in recognition of our achievements in this area.
We enjoy regularly inviting parents into school to celebrate their children's successes through productions, class assemblies and showcase opportunities to share learning, and events such as Festival on the Field.
